page-builder - Data capture step-by-step

A ‘data capture' action is used when you want to collect information from your supporters, for example a survey.

They are different from petitions in that they are not used for campaigning purposes and so won't be recorded in the advocacy reports. However the process of making them is exactly the same as petitions.

The supporters' data is recorded so you use it to report on to communicate with them at a later date according to their responses. It is useful to be familiar with Questions which mean you can add any kind of bespoke input you like.
